Cometline Compass

A brass railway compass with a blue starlight needle that follows named vehicles and steadies travelers on moving platforms.

Properties

Wondrous item, rare, requires attunement. Once per dawn after naming a vehicle the bearer has seen or a station the bearer has visited, the compass points along the safest available route toward it for eight hours. Once per long rest when the bearer would be pushed, pulled, or knocked prone, the bearer can ignore that effect.

Lore

Brann awards this conductor’s compass after the Starfall rescue. Its needle is a captured reflection of the Brass Comet rather than a fragment of the object itself.

Game Master guidance

The compass shows direction, not distance, and cannot cross planar boundaries. A blocked route causes the needle to circle until a safe path exists. The item is never required to solve a later scene.

Related use

The item is designed as a memorable reward rather than a requirement for later play. A party without it can solve every related scene with the listed checks, tools, spells, or environmental choices.
